Sale Sharks substitute Arron Reed scored a last-minute try to win a thrilling game after Bath had threatened to pull off a sensational comeback victory.
Sale had led by 19 points in the first half, but trailed as the clock ticked to zero before Reed touched down to strengthen their grip on second place in the Premiership.
They had secured a bonus point after 32 minutes with tries from Joe Carpenter, Sam Dugdale, Tom Roebuck and Tommy Taylor and looked set for an easy home win.
But Bath, who remain tenth, had fought back superbly with scores from Niall Annett, Jonathan Joseph and captain Ben Spencer as they chased an unlikely away win.
